COMPOSITiON FOR RENDERING WOOD, 806., INCOMBUSTIBLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,174, dated September 16, 1884. I

Application filed 23,1883. (Specimens) Patented in France Nox'ember 6, 1882, No.151,948; in Italy April 11, 1883, No.15,456; inPortugalApril12,1883; in Belgium April 23, 1883, No. 61,197; in Germany April 24, 1883; in Austria April 30, 1883; in England May 5, 1883, No. 2,293; in Russia May 15, 1883; in Sweden May To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that we, LEON GIMENEZ and J osn YRIGOYEN, both citizens of the Spanish Kingdom and residents of Pampeluna, in the Spanish Kingdom, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in li ir e lroof Gomposition, (for which we have obtaified Letters Patent in France under date, of November 6, 1882, No, 151,948,) and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to tli ep ming composition for combustible su istancesfand more especially for textiles. T

In carrying out our invention we make an infusion of thirty-one (31) grams of the bark of the holly and two (2) grams of sea alt.

Mammal; one hour the liquid is decanted.

With one liter of the liquid prepared as above set forth is mixed one hundred and forty (140) grams of sulphate o f ginc, one hundred-and twenty-fiv'KTZSfgfirris of rnuriate of 'ammo niaLand one hundred and twenty-five grams of aluin. This solution is then heated for about f difi hours, care being taken to avoid ebullition, and two (2) grams of 1 e or isi nglass are added, and the whole stirred until complete solution and intimate mixture of the ingredients have been effected. At the expiration of the four hours, thesolution is allowed to cool and passed through a hairsieve, and the incombustible product is completed.

The liquid is applied by means of a brush to the substance it is desired to render fireproof, and the coating repeated, if necessary,

until the said substance is impregnated with the liquid or paint. When applied to the 21, 1883; in Denmark May 24, i883, and in Norway May25, 1883- temperature, while if applied to wood-work,

although this will not absorb the liquid so readily and in as great volumes as textiles,

yet the protection is complete, since combustion or inflammation will not take place in' case of fire, but such wood-work will simply carbonize.

Of course it will be understood that the proportions of ingredients hereinaloove given may be varied within certain limits.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim is The herein-described fireproofing composition or paint, consisting of an infusion of the bark of the hollyand sea-salt mixed with sulphate of zinc, muriate of ammonia, alum, and fish-glue or isinglass, substantially as describw In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands this 28th day of March, 1883.
